Roles and Permissions

Overview

Cordial uses a role-based access model that allows you to group permissions into roles—and then assign those roles to individual users based on their responsibility.

  • Permissions: access rights to specific areas and functions of the platform
  • Roles: collections of permissions granted to users in your account

Multiple roles can be assigned to a single user as a way to further differentiate levels of access between users.

Predefined roles

Your account has two predefined user roles. These roles cannot be edited or deleted.

Predefined role Permissions
Cordial Admin (previously Admin) All permissions.
Cordial Power User (previously User) Permissions to view other users and account transports.

Manage Roles and Permissions

1. To create new and manage existing roles, navigate to Settings > Roles and Permissions.

This option is available to users who are assigned roles with permissions to view, create, edit, and delete roles and permissions.

2. You will see a table of available roles in your account.

3. Hover over the arrow next to the role name to see available options:

  • View: See the details of a predefined role
  • Edit: Update role name, description, and permissions
  • Duplicate: Create a new role using an existing role as a template
  • Delete: Permanently remove the role from your account (only roles that are not assigned to any users can be deleted)

4. Click New to create a role. Give your role a name, description, and the permissions it will grant to your users.

Saved roles can be assigned to individual users from the Users page.

Permissions with dependencies on one another will be selected simultaneously.

    Can we create permissions categories to hide the contacts from users? It would be nice in this age of CCPA and with subscribers data in mind  to restrict access to subscriber lists.  Lot of devs and contractors need to see the prod data and supplements but really don't want them to search and export contacts etc.


    Thanks
